Ingredients
Scale:
2 cans (5 oz each) of tuna - Choose a high-quality tuna packed in water for a lighter taste.
1 can (10.5 oz) of cream of mushroom soup - Opt for a low-sodium version for a healthier dish.
1 cup of frozen peas - Fresh peas can be used if available, adding a sweet crunch.
1 cup of cooked rice - You can substitute brown rice for extra fiber or use cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
Instructions
Prepare the Slow Cooker: Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make for easier cleanup.
Drain the Tuna: Open the cans of tuna and drain the liquid. Flake the tuna into large chunks with a fork and set aside.
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked tuna, cream of mushroom soup, and frozen peas. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
Layer in Slow Cooker: Add the cooked rice to the mixture and gently fold it in. Then, pour the mixture into the prepared slow cooker, spreading it out evenly.
Cook: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to low heat. Cook for approximately 4 hours, or until the peas are tender and the dish is heated through.
Serve: Once cooked, give the mixture a good stir before serving to ensure all ingredients are well combined. Dish out portions and enjoy your easy, comforting meal!
